cinnamomum Zeylanicum was founded to be 0.642% w/v,
the extracted oil was characterized by saponification value,
acid value, ester value.
Physical and chemical properties were studied
Chemical components were analyzed using IR
spectrophotometer.
Antimicrobial activity is studied on 3 different bacteria and a
